smoke

fuming

onlookers worry
'bout fumes on the highest floor
where incense sticks burn

draped in fog the moon
hiding behind a smoke-screen
or merely fuming

burning at both ends
in her lips the cigarette
can you smoke grief out ..

  5. The last line caught me up and made me smile. What do we see? What do we think we see?

  6. I especially like the one about the moon "hiding behind a smoke screen." Well done.

  7. I have height problems so I can relate .. I love the verse about the moon, as it does at time, looks like it's sitting in a smoke ring.

  8. A fuming moon. Funny how we count on it to always come back.

  10. I don't think you can smoke the grief away. However burning the cigarettes at both ends is more bad news.
    I like it, thank you.
